I decided that I was tired of depicting myself as a dodgeball weenie, so I decided to take today's buzzComix incentive sketch and draw myself as Tha Dodgeball Mastah! Click here to be (possibly) impressed!

I know today's comic isn't necessarily movie-related. Its makes the most tenuous association with Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story (which I mentioned on Wednesday). I have nothing new to say about it, so just regard today's comic as the conclusion of Wednesday's comic.

If you're a member of the THorum, you'd know that I've taken the day off to spend with my sweetie Cami. Speaking of things you only used to do when you were a kid, we're going to the zoo this morning. Who knows what awaits us? Neither of us have been there in the last 15 years.

But we're not ignoring our multiplexes on our day off, either! We plan of catching a matinee of the aforementioned Dodgeball, then catching the late show of the new Steven Spielberg/Tom Hanks joint The Terminal.

Advance chatter for The Terminal hasn't been overwhelmingly positive. At least not for the caliber of talent associated with it. Most reviews I've read have praised the first 45 minutes before noting it wallows in typical Spielberg sentimentality for the remainder of the picture. Interesting that no one seems to mention the near impenetrable Eastern block accent Hanks chooses to employ. Maybe it's not as difficult to decipher through the course of a 2 hour movie as compared to the brief trailer that had our heads scratching.

We have some friends who want to go see Saved! on Saturday night. I have a passing interest in this, but it didn't occur to me to rush out in see it. Reviews have been strong. And if it sucks, at least I'll get to see Macaulay Culkin in a wheelchair.

I'm sorry, but I still haven't forgiven him for Getting Even With Dad!

Okay, that's really cruel. Seriously, though. Advanced chatter looks good. Plus, it has Patrick Fugit in it and I thought he was awesome in Almost Famous.

That's about it for me today. Hope you enjoyed the comic. One last thing before I go...

It's becoming known that I'm a bit of a word freak. That is, I like to play Scrabble. Well, our intrepid THorum crew found a place where we can play the interactive crossword puzzle for free. We've been known to strike up a few games at random from time to time. We're usually in the room "Consonant Creek". Look us up sometime.

Take care, have a safe weekend and I'll see in this spot Monday!
